Chapter 1420: Chapter 1420

Unexpectedly, the death of the Bloody Lotus Saint Child did not provoke a rampage or a mass slaughter from the Blood Lotus upper class. Even more surprisingly, after giving some orders, the Blood Lotus Sect Master actually entered closed-door cultivation.

Had it not been for the knowledge that they could no longer leave this world, some might have thought the Sect Master was fleeing.

Even the Blood Lotus upper class did not know what the Sect Master was up to, but occasional orders made it clear that the Sect Master was still paying attention to the battle situation here, and that was all.

With the Blood Lotus Sect Master in closed-door cultivation, directing the battle became the responsibility of others.

After operating here for countless years, the entire plateau was the stronghold of Blood Lotus. Although there might not be many Blood Lotus people, there were a great deal of native soldiers who had joined Blood Lotus. They dared not establish their own territories here, and though they didn’t have soldiers produced from their own domains, there was no shortage of native soldiers who could now be put to use.

"Brothers, our homeland is now facing the enemy’s siege. Those evil enemies want to completely annihilate us so they can monopolize this plateau. Tell me, are you scared?"

The Blood Lotus people were just as capable of rallying their troops before battle, and they did not fall short compared to the alliance’s side.

All members of Blood Lotus were mobilized. Then, under their command, everyone descended from the plateau and entered the continuous mountains, hoping to exploit the terrain to resist the enemy.

Of course, those who knew that the Bloody Lotus Saint Child had left but did not report it found this unsurprising. Although they were not killed by the Blood Lotus upper class, during this battle, these people were all assigned to the most dangerous places.

Namely the positions closest to several passageways, where the alliance’s troops were concentrated the most.

Du You and his sisters entered the mountainous terrain and immediately felt a force suppressing them.

"This is the mountain range with the ability to imprison. Yucha, let’s test what kind of strength we can exert here." After saying this, Lin Yucha released her Platform Floating Cloud.

Indeed, just as the information said, they could not fly higher than the surrounding mountain peaks. The closer they got, the stronger the powerful force suppressing them became. It was said that the remnants of a Divine Spirit’s power lingered here.

Of course, there were those who said it was a setup from Blood Lotus’s predecessors, but no one knew the real reason.

Du You and his sisters also experimented with their own flying methods, and as expected, it was a no-go. When they got close to the mountain peaks, the immense pressure was almost enough to squash them into pancakes, forcing them to descend.

If they flew at that height, they would have to combat the surrounding pressure with their own strength, making it very easy for others to kill them. Nonetheless, they were still able to fly in this area.

Then, Du You and his sisters tested their various abilities. Sure enough, Du You found that all of his abilities had been greatly weakened. Furthermore, the mountain rocks around them all had a special power enhancement, making them extremely hard. It was almost impossible for his strength to damage the environment here.

And the hardness of these mountains was such that even going all out with Destruction Flames, Du You doubted he could harm them.

On the bright side, having such a place where one could unleash abilities without worrying about affecting the surrounding environment was indeed pleasing. But the fact that the enemy was more familiar with this place was not good.

"Master, the enemy has been spotted ahead. They are probably heading towards us now."

Du You laughed: "Ha ha, these complex terrains, even though the enemy is more familiar with them, we are certainly better adapted. Stay close; we’ll show Blood Lotus what we’re capable of."

Du You didn’t stay on the roads but chose to venture deeper into the mountains, into the most complex areas. He believed there would be quite a few enemies, especially the natives, and Du You was not worried.

Wasn’t he best at laying traps? So, while restoring his Magic Power with the Dark Spirit Light, Du You continuously set traps around him. His own Devouring Swamp was laid out in places out of sight, one after another. For example, in some ravines, if someone dared to hide there, they would know the consequences.

There were also Hellfire Spiders adapted to the terrain, burrowing where possible, and turning invisible elsewhere, lying in wait. When the enemy approached, they would be reduced to dust and bone.

Aside from Du You, Lin Yushi had also become skilled in this area.

This was something Du You had just discovered; normally, Lin Yushi’s Swallowing Demon Vine could only last for a very short period. Other than a slight restraining effect, it was useless.

But now, with the Dark Vine Demon Emperor, things were different. The Dark Vine Demon Emperor could create low-tier Magic Vine puppets, and Lin Yushi would directly Summon the Swallowing Demon Vine onto these puppets.

Then, like grafting, the Swallowing Demon Vine on the Magic Vine puppets could survive for several days with their help, while its entangling and attack capabilities reached tier six. Placing it in lush plant areas, it was an extremely terrifying trap plant.

Lin Yucha did not lack work either. Although she lacked the ability to set traps, she had the ability to move unseen and was fast and adept at hiding. Her general task was to help Du You clear nearby enemies, affording them the luxury of setting traps leisurely.

Even when facing stronger enemies, Lin Yucha could rely on surprise attacks to easily eliminate them.

This process would not even alert the other nearby enemies. For the first few days, the trio didn’t encounter a single Blood Lotus Professional, and even tier-six enemies were native soldiers.

These natives didn’t have a bunch of special abilities, so they were defenseless in front of Lin Yucha. They were all tier six, but Lin Yucha was still able to dispatch them swiftly with her bow and arrows.

This process would not take more than five minutes. Often, due to the surprise attack, even if the killing was not instantaneous, only a follow-up shot was needed. Tier-six enemies were not as easy to kill as before.

With Du You and the sisters diligently working, the area they were responsible for soon became a land of dangerous traps. Eventually, even the alliance’s members dared not enter Du You’s territory.

This was because many times, the traps could not distinguish between the alliance’s people and enemies. If they were accidentally killed, it would be a wrongful death. So Du You’s location became devoid of other comrades again, turning this combined operation into a standalone mission.
